Could it be??? Not Jesse Jackson!!!

Jesse Jackson was arrested by Decatur, Illinois cops in December 1999 and charged with criminal trespass and contributing to the delinquency of
a minor in connection with a demonstration at a local high school. The civil rights activist was protesting the expulsion of six students who were
kicked out of school for fighting.

See it's comments like those of Goregrinder and Bob88 on the right side of issues that make black people shy away from your politics. Jesse Jackson,
while a flawed human like most, is not a bad person. He was the first black man to run for the highest political office of this country. He marched
right along side of Dr. King fighting hard for this country to end its racist policy of hate toward black people that was basically stood up by white
politicans just to win votes--it's sickening to see this still going on.

But, he's no hero. He just dedicated his whole life to fighting injustices and feeding the poor. That's no big deal. History will be on his side
and attacking this man and other black peoples in the political arena as some of you often do only shows the quality of your character.

Jesse should then stick to feeding the poor, instead of lining his own pockets through extortion. And, I’m sure the women around him could do without
the womanizing.

Furthermore, just because a few of us criticize a notorious shakedown artist and WOMANIZER, a few here turn this into a race/hate issue because that
particular person we’re criticizing is black? Is that what is happening here????? PATHETIC.

It's only a issue when you consistently resort to personal attacks and never address the man's record. I challenge some of you to search your post
and what you have said when it comes to black leaders. It's not about the man's politics, your complaints are petty name calling. Womanizer???
What do you about the man other than what the media tells you? And who are you to throw stones? Attack his political positions and then maybe your
point would be valid, and I'd probably agree with you. Search my post to see where I stand on his politics.

And, I didn't call anyone specifically a racist because I don't know you personally all I have to go off of is the things I've read from you. And
when you consistently make light of and ridicule black leaders you paint a picture of yourself.

His womanizing and adulterous 'record' is what doesn't sit well with me, as well as his well documented extortion tactics. I'll be the first to
commend him on securing the release of several hostages in the past.

BUT - you brought race into this discussion, not me - I'll not continue here.
